Dr. Licata Is a Fellow
of the Academy of General Dentistry
Only 6% of dentists nationwide achieve Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry. Dr. Licata is one of them.
This distinction requires more than 500 hours of advanced training beyond dental school—so your care reflects the latest techniques, higher clinical standards, and thoughtful treatment planning that prioritizes long-term results.
With this Fellowship, Dr Licata engages in advanced continuing education (CE) to keep current on the latest dental technologies, techniques, materials, equipment, procedures, and management strategies. This Fellowship is also for dentists committed to offering exceptional dental care.
Our Dental Services
Whether you’re here for preventive care, restorative treatment, or a complete smile transformation, you’ll receive thoughtful, unhurried care focused on quality and longevity. Dr. Licata doesn’t rush—and your results reflect it.
Why Patients Choose Us Over Insurance-Driven Dentistry
Today, many dental offices are owned or influenced by large corporations or insurance-driven models. While that approach may prioritize volume and speed, it often comes at the expense of something patients value most—personalized, thoughtful care.
At Licata Dental, an independent dental practice in Chesterfield, we’ve chosen a different path.
You won’t be passed from provider to provider or see a different face every visit. Every visit you’ll see the same dentist—Dr. Licata and her trusted team. We get to know you, your history, and your goals—and that consistency leads to better diagnosis, better outcomes, and a more comfortable experience every time.
Not Pressured by Corporate Metrics
In many offices, treatment recommendations can be influenced by production goals or sales quotas. Here, decisions are made for one reason only: what’s best for you. No pressure. No unnecessary treatment. Just honest, clinically sound recommendations.
Relationship-Based Dentistry
We believe great dentistry starts with trust. That means listening first, understanding your concerns, and building a long-term relationship—not just completing a procedure. Patients aren’t numbers here—they’re people we genuinely care about. Appointments are scheduled with time to talk, ask questions, and learn what’s unique about each patient.
Experience Matters
With years of clinical experience and a commitment to continuing education, you benefit from refined judgment—not just technical skill. Experience means knowing when to act, when to monitor, and how to tailor care specifically to you.
Deep Community Connection & Accountability
We live and work in this community. Our reputation matters—because our patients are also our neighbors. That creates a level of accountability you simply won’t find in larger, corporate-run practices.
Focus on Prevention & Long-Term Outcomes
Insurance-driven models often emphasize short-term, procedure-based care. With our preventive dental care focus, we work to keep problems from happening in the first place—and when treatment is needed, we prioritize solutions that last.
A Different Kind of Dental Experience
If you’re looking for fast, transactional dentistry, there are plenty of options. If you’re looking for a Chesterfield dentist who knows you, values your time, and is invested in your long-term health—you’re in the right place. We review your full health picture, not just your teeth.
Two Different Models of Care
These are two different models of care—and here’s why ours leads to better long-term outcomes. Most dental offices are limited by insurance company rules. We’re not.
Not all dental offices operate the same way. The differences below can have a lasting impact on your long-term oral health.
Multiple providers, frequent turnover
Short, efficiency-focused visits
Treatment influenced by insurance limitations
Production goals and quotas influence care
Reactive, procedure-based approach
Fillings and crowns designed to meet minimum standards
Transactional, visit-to-visit experience
Varying levels of experience depending on provider
Corporate-owned with less personal accountability
Consistent care with the same doctor—every visit
Time set aside to listen, explain, and personalize your care
Treatment recommendations based on what’s best for you
No pressure—decisions guided purely by clinical judgment
Preventive focus—addressing problems before they start
Restorations selected to reduce breakage and repeat dentistry
Relationship-based care built on trust over time
Experienced, consistent oversight of your care
Locally owned—deep community connection and accountability
If you’ve ever felt rushed, uncertain, or limited by insurance at a dental office—you’re not alone. There is a different approach to care.

Excellence in care, backed by testimonials.
Kayla and Cassie are incredibly friendly and welcoming. And Dr. Licata is wonderful! She is very thorough, explains everything she finds in ways I could understand, and makes me feel like she actually cares.
She also wanted to take the time to really study my X-ray, pictures, etc. before jumping right into a treatment plan, so she knows how to best treat my teeth.
This was easily the best experience I've ever had at a dentist appointment. I'm definitely sticking with them!
Thank you dr Lafata.
Also, Dr. Licata’s staff is wonderful! Kayla is soo genuine and kind. I mean, I walked in unannounced and Kayla gave me “girl, we got you” vibes. Cassie was like calm, cool and collected competence. Immaculate vibes.
Anyway, would recommend!! 👏 👏
